Rescue flight on fishing trip A WEEK-long fishing trip off the Cobourg Peninsula, 160km northeast of Darwin, ended with a rescue flight for a Darwin man yesterday. Five men, from Katherine and Darwin, made an emerg- ency dash to isolated Vashon Head airstrip after one of the men fell just over a metre from their larger boat on to a small tinny, suffering frac- tured ribs after landing on his chest. The men used a phone to call for medical help just be- fore midday. A CareFlight nurse landed at the remote airstrip to meet the fishing party and take over treatment of the man, aged 50.
